The History Test"I went to the aid of a 6-man special forces long range reconnaissance patrol that was in danger of being overrun by a large, heavily armed hostile force. Despite the knowledge that 1 helicopter had been downed by intense hostile fire, I descended, and balanced his helicopter on a river bank with the tail boom hanging over open water. The patrol could not penetrate to the landing site and he was forced to withdraw. Dangerously low on fuel, I repeated his original landing maneuver. Disregarding my own safety I remained in this exposed position I did not care if I had a chance of dieing i was just trying to save my buddys life . Hostile fire crashed through his windscreen as the patrol boarded my helicopter I made a successful takeoff through a barrage of hostile fire and recovered safely at a forward base. best part is I saved my men that day." fleming said. "wow you are a hero I am proud to take my test about you." kyle said "son I was just doing my job" said fleming. kyle says i went on CMOHS.ORG it says on your pageFor conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. Company F was advancing in dense jungle northwest of Cam Lo in an effort to extract a heavily besieged reconnaissance patrol. Pfc. Anderson's platoon was the lead element and had advanced only about 200 meters when they were brought under extremely intense enemy small-arms and automatic weapons fire. The platoon reacted swiftly, getting on line as best they could in the thick terrain, and began returning fire. Pfc. Anderson found himself tightly bunched together with the other members of the platoon only 20 meters from the enemy positions. As the fire fight continued several of the men were wounded by the deadly enemy assault. Suddenly, an enemy grenade landed in the midst of the marines and rolled alongside Pfc. Anderson's head. Unhesitatingly and with complete disregard for his personal safety, he reached out, grasped the grenade, pulled it to his chest and curled around it as it went off. Although several marines received shrapnel from the grenade, his body absorbed the major force of the explosion. In this singularly heroic act, Pfc. Anderson saved his comrades from serious injury and possible death. His personal heroism, extraordinary valor, and inspirational supreme self-sacrifice reflected great credit upon himself and the Marine Corps and upheld the highest traditions of the U.S. Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life for his country. Luther says "yup thats all true kyle you got all that right, we have to go know make sure you study make us pround ok" kyle says "ok"The very next day kyle retook the history test and got the best grade in all 7 periods he got a 103% with the meshbucks he saved up his teacher was very proud of him and he said "Kyle how did you get such a good grade on the test" kyle smiles then says "you would not belive me if i told you."the end
